Tuesday and Iffy On Track/I WANT ONDERLAND BACK!

Posted by: travelgal In: General

Well, I’ve been pretty on track today especially breakfast and lunch, but dinner is a bit iffy because I cooked for a friend and didnt make the healthiest dinner. And i didnt go to the gym because it was raining.  But I’m definitely going to the gym tomorrow and being on track 100% the rest of the week, AND if i dont hit Onderland on Friday, my goal will be to hit Onderland on Monday.  It’s nuts that I’ve been bouncing around the same weigh for almost two months AND that I still havent hit Onederland.  ARGHHH.

Anyways, food today:

Breakfast: chicken apple sausage (120), yogurt (60), 1 tbpsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35), ½ cup of berries (35) -335

Lunch: 1/4 cup of dry WW pasta (50), 3 turkey meatballs (150), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (25), mushrooms (20), 1 tbsp parmesean cheese (20), carrots and snap peas (40), Hershey’s kiss (22)- 377

snack: apple (70), turkey 2 slices (70)- 140

Dinner: 3 potstickers (75), noodle kugel (400)- 475

Argh–friday, why you gotta suck?!

Posted by: travelgal In: General

OK, so I did my official weigh in this morning, and while I didnt gain weight, I didnt lose much weigh either..I weighed in at 203.6 which is only .4 down from last week. I dont get it. I’ve been to the gym everyday this week and have been eating SO carefully.  I’m going to have to spend some time this weekend re-reading some of my much older posts when I was losing weight much more consistently and see what I was doing differently, because this really just doesnt make sense..it shouldnt be THAT hard to reach Onderland when I’m being SO careful. to be honest, I’m really confused. arghhh. ok need to think  about what to change. any suggestions on what gets someone out of a plateau? is it less fruit, more protein? more calories? what ?!?!

anyways, I’ll take this whole thing slowly but surely.  whatevs haha.

Breakfast:

1 tofu dog and ketchup (60), Yogurt-1/2 cup- 60, Cereal-1/4 cup-35

Flax- 1 tbsp- 30, Blackberries/raspberries- ½ cup-32, 4 med/large strawberries(8 small ones)- ½ cup 23

½ banana- 53, iced tea: 0, total: 293

Lunch: ½ cup of dry WW pasta (100), 2 turkey meatballs (100), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (40), mushrooms (40) parmesean cheese (40), Hershey’s kiss (22),- 392 done

Snack: apple (70), string cheese (60) – 130

Dinner: some delicious vegan chinese food! yum!!

Gym:37 min on treadmill including day 2 of week 6 of c25k complete, and 10 mins of abs. attempting day 3 on sunday plus full weight workout. day 3 will be a CHALLENGE.

still doing an unofficial weigh in sunday am and trying to be VERY on track tomorrow day
